A test of gsl-0.8 failed on

uname -a
SunOS Octopussy 5.7 Generic_106541-11 sun4u sparc

I have done:

./configure --prefix=/zpr/scratch/achim/gsl_install --with-pic
make && make check

PASS: gsl_sf_bessel_Jnu_e(0.0001, 1.0, &r)

I ran specfunc/test in gdb:

Maybe, this way of initialisation is not possible in pic code...
The gcc version was 2.8.0.

I've tested it with egcs-1.1.2, there was no error in specfunc, but a
compile error at

maybe there is a problem with egcs...

With linux, I tried to build gsl-0.8 in a seperate build tree, but failed.
Has anyone tried too?

Yours!
